The Student Body: A History of the Stewart Indian School, 1890-1940January 2013 (has links)
abstract: In 1890, the State of Nevada built the Stewart Indian School on a parcel of land three miles south of Carson City, Nevada, and then sold the campus to the federal government. The Stewart Indian School operated as the only non-reservation Indian boarding school in Nevada until 1980 when the federal government closed the campus. Faced with the challenge of assimilating Native peoples into Anglo society after the conclusion of the Indian wars and the confinement of Indian nations on reservations, the federal government created boarding schools. Policymakers believed that in one generation they could completely eliminate Indian culture by removing children from their homes and educating them in boarding schools. The history of the Stewart Indian School from 1890 to 1940 is the story of a dynamic and changing institution. Only Washoe, Northern Paiute, and Western Shoshone students attended Stewart for the first decade, but over the next forty years, children from over sixty tribal groups enrolled at the school. They arrived from three dozen reservations and 335 different hometowns across the West. During this period, Stewart evolved from a repressive and exploitive institution, into a school that embodied the reform agenda of the Indian New Deal in the 1930s. This dissertation uses archival and ethnographic material to explain how the federal government's agenda failed. Rather than destroying Native culture, Stewart students and Nevada's Indian communities used the skills taught at the school to their advantage and became tribal leaders during the 1930s. This dissertation explores the individual and collective bodies of Stewart students. The body is a social construction constantly being fashioned by the intersectional forces of race, class, and gender. Each chapter explores the different ways the Stewart Indian School and the federal government tried to transform the students' bodies through their physical appearance, the built environment, health education, vocational training, and extracurricular activities such as band and sports. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. History 2013

Source and Magma Evolution of the Tuff of Elevenmile Canyon, Stillwater Range, Clan Alpine and Northern Desatoya Mountains, Western Nevada.Stepner, Daniel January 2017 (has links)
The tuff of Elevenmile Canyon (TEC) is a 25.1 Ma trachydacite to rhyolite intracaldera tuff produced by the largest of 6 Oligocene overlapping calderas that, along with related plutons, constitute the Stillwater Caldera Complex, one of the largest eruptions of the Western Nevada Volcanic Field during the mid-Tertiary ignimbrite flare-up. Typically crystal-rich with a mineral assemblage of plagioclase > quartz sanidine > biotite ± hornblende and clinopyroxene, there are two discernable pumice types throughout the tuff: a lighter crystal-rich pumice and a darker, commonly aphyric pumice type. Rb-Sr and Sm-Nd isotopic compositions of pumice fragments and whole rock samples indicate an enriched mantle component (87Sr/86Srin = 0.70495 – 0.70535, Nd[t=25.1Ma] = -1.13 to -0.39) similar to that of coeval Cenozoic mafic lavas. Pb isotopes (206Pb/204Pbin = 19.042 – 19.168, 207Pb/204Pbin = 15.557 – 15.664) fall along a tight trend between the Northern Hemisphere Reference Line (Hart 1984) and an endmember similar to local granitic units. Major and trace element modelling support a source for the TEC derived from the mixing of anatectic melts of crustal rocks with intruded mantle-derived magmas similar to a local basaltic-andesite.

Petrogenesis of Eocene-Oligocene magmatism of the Sulphur Springs Range, central Nevada: The role of magma mixingRyskamp, Elizabeth Balls 21 November 2006 (has links) (PDF)
Widespread base- and precious-metal anomalies, altered porphyry intrusions and oxidized veins occur in a portion of the Sulphur Springs Range, Nevada (adjacent to the Au-producing Carlin Trend). Some of the Eocene-Oligocene intrusions and cogenetic volcanic rocks in the range exhibit evidence of magma mixing and invite comparisons with other mineralized, Eocene mixed magma systems like the Bingham porphyry Cu deposit 300 km farther to the east. The Sulphur Springs igneous suite ranges compositionally through rhyolite, dacite, andesite and basaltic andesite but is less alkaline than the Bingham volcanic suite. However, the alkali content of the Sulphur Springs suite is similar to other Eocene igneous rocks along the Carlin Trend. The unusual geochemical signature of the Bingham igneous suite, enrichment in Cr, Ni, and Ba, is generally not found in the unaltered Sulphur Springs suite, with the exception of a set of altered mafic and intermediate dikes found in the core of the Sulphur Springs Range. The Bingham and Sulphur Springs volcanic suites both show extensive mixing of mafic magma with more silicic magma to create magma with intermediate compositions. The Bingham suite demonstrates mixing mineralogically by the presence of altered olivine and pyroxene in intermediate composition rocks. One of the disequilibrium Sulphur Springs rocks vividly expresses magma mixing as “andesite" - containing plagioclase, biotite, clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene, olivine, and amphibole coexisting with heavily resorbed megacrysts of quartz and K-feldspar. The Sulphur Springs mixed magma also contains abundant late-stage accessory magnetite and resorbed and oxidized garnet. The most likely parental magmas for this rock are a garnet-bearing quartz porphyry and olivine-bearing basaltic andesite which are both present in the range. Questions these data raise include: 1) Was there an unusual tectonic setting during the Eocene of the western United States that promoted both magma mixing and base- and precious-metal mineralization? 2) How vital might mixing processes and mafic magma be in delivering large amounts of S and chalcophile metals from deeper magmas to the shallow crust and eventual ore deposits?
